Nothing special and waste of money.

I tend to disagree. This building is about being BIG and nothing more and says more about our ego-driven profession than anything else. While I applaud Rotterdam's architectural prowess, they will probably regret ever having given the okay to construct this poop! Slabtastic architecture, with Russia in mind!

Koolhaas has already tried and succeed on this strategy. Just remember Porto’s Casa do Musica or the several tries OMA did with the Cardiff Opera project. OMA has been playing with the idea of the building as a city for more than 20 years. Somehow is good that finally they are able to build that concept with this relatively calm collection of Mies and SOM buildings stacked in Rotterdam's riverfront. But take a look at their Hague City Hall competition. 22 years ago. And the original is still better. Oh… but it’s the biggest building in Rotterdam… seems that size matters… I guess that we should be allowed to repeat ourselves when something we did in the past could not happen or was not built.

At some point I fear the mixed programs will stop bennefitting from each other and the tensions between them becomes irrelevant to the city. I don’t see why it has to be so big?

I always loved this project and I believe Wilhelminapier has been missing 'De Rotterdam'. It also give fantastic vibes to find out that it's never over with architecture... a project can go on site after 12 years in the drawer! In my opinion good projects never get old.

Who couldn't be bothered to think up something new and appropriate.
